@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca I want to point out, and it is a bit cruel, that is not in general true for the rest of the world. Fix your frakking country. Join a trade union, do general strikes, occupy your wok places. Stop listen to your priests, stop chase the money. We did that a hundred years ago, and yes it cost blood and grief, but it had to be done.

@burnitdown@beige.party @broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca @GoblinQuester@dice.camp In BC, I can't collect disability because I have a partner, which as a survivor of domestic abuse fills me with rage that not only does my disability put undue pressure on her income and our relationship which is not enough for a family of 2 to live safely in BC, but it leaves countless disabled people in abusive relationships with no autonomy, safety or ability to escape.

@burnitdown@beige.party @RobotDiver@starlite.rodeo @broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca Then there will be workhouses and a bit later the concentration camps turns up ... and we all know where that ends

@burnitdown@beige.party @GoblinQuester@dice.camp @broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca In BC, you also have to pay income tax on your disability pay. Income tax on an amount that will not even allow you to rent an apartment.

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca Also many people have no where to grow food from,no where to stay and staying in streets with empty stomachs. Children leaving homes for schools to learn,spend the day long without anything in their stomachs which makes learning difficult and leading to poor performance. Environment being degraded to the maximum,even no one conserned to raise his or her voice to rescue our mother earth. #greenyouthmovent calls everyone's support to it works to make this planet a better place.

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca my daughter and son in law complain bitterly about Canadian healthcare. They seem to have forgotten that their youngest was resuscitated when he was a few days old after an emergency airlift and had emergency heart surgery. I know they've had big administrative headaches since then, but damn, saving your son's life *for free* in that fashion has to count for something, right?

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca Oh yes, fully agree, and I am terrified of what is happening here in the U.K. right now, re Reform party and Farage the Far radgie, who wants to bring in USA type insurance scheme to replace our national insurance based NHS. ( midn you, with all the attempts to "marketise" it, our NHS is in a sorry state, but healthcare here still costs the country less as percentage of GDP than the USA, AND we have a longer life expectancy here than the USA.

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca The whole point of the #NHS in the #UK - aka the #socialist #medicine denounced by the #US #Republicans - is that #healthcare is #free at the point of use, & paid for out of #taxation, as it should be in ALL #countries. That way, you CAN'T go broke or be made #homeless if you get #sick!

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca 💯 Old socialist slogan, popularized by Marx: > To each according to their needs, > From each according to their ability
